Six Months [Book 1: Playboy Series]

Chapter Thirty Seven

The following days were just like the rest of the other days, it was normal, we would make love at night, it became a normal thing in between us, he would still work off his ass, we grew closer to each other.

"Happy New Year!" we greeted each other.

Kami nila Warren ang magkakasama, kahit sila Marco ay bumalik, Zeinn, Joseph, all of them, they came back, except for the girls.

"Just a few more weeks, ang tibay niyong tatlo ah" Leonard said.

"Di mo sure" Clara laughed.

Natawa na lang rin ako, it was an inside joke for us three girls.

"Oh my, may hindi ba kayo sinasabi sa amin?!" Leonard blurted to his friends.

"Wala!" Warren said.

"Baka may nagsabi na sa inyong tatlo non ah, baka pinagbigyan lang kayo nila Rafael, hmm, bawal yan" Joseph said.

"Wala, wala pang nagsasabi sa amin" Clarisse said.

"Naku, hindi yata effective charms niyo sa kanila ah, lalo na kay Shanne" kantyaw ni Zeinn kay Hanzel.

Umiling lang si Hanzel at saka ako sinubuan ng pork belly.

"Mmm, tama na, busog na ako"

"You should eat more, baby"

"Busog na ko, you've been feeding me ever since we started grilling"

Nginuya ko iyon at saka nilunok, kaagad akong uminom ng soju pagkalunok ko ng kinakain ko, I opened up a mochi ice cream and ate.

Pare-pareho kaming nasa labas at nag-iihaw, we were celebrating New Year's eve, nagsalin ako ng soju sa shotglass at saka iyon iniangat sa taas, there were fireworks displays.

"Cheers, mom and dad, happy new year!"

I drink it straight, bago itinaob ang baso.

"Oh, ayaw mo na?" Marco asked.

"Ayoko na, last shot ko na yon, yung isa d'yan sigurado akong pagagalitan na naman ako dahil marami ang ininom ko"

"Ay, under ka?" kantyaw ni Marco sa akin.

"Hindi naman, ayoko lang maparusahan, baka mamaya sa sofa pa ko matulog"

"Ganon ba parusa mo, Diorr? Man, that's lame" sambit ni Zeinn.

"Palibhasa kasi iba ang parusa mo!" singhal ko kay Zeinn.

Natawa naman ang magbabarkada, Hanzel was laughing, too.

Of course, his punishment wasn't really me sleeping on the couch, it was that kind of punishment.

If you know, you know, I don't like to elaborate.

"I'm glad you learn from your punishments" he said.

I made a face with what he said.

"Wait, seriously? Iyon talaga ang punishment mo sa kanya, Diorr? Her sleeping on the couch?" di makapaniwalang tanong ni Leonard.

"Says who? Hindi naman ako um-oo sa sinabi niya, right?"

"Oh damn man, you mean to tell me?" Marco said, hunching and then looking at him like he knows something suspicious.

Hanzel just drank his shot of soju, kumain pa ako ng side dishes at nanatiling tahimik.

"Damn, man! Really?!" masaya ngunit di makapaniwalang tanong ni Marco kay Hanzel.

The others exchange glances like they don't know what Marco is trying to say.

Talaga ba, di niyo gets? Sungal-ngalin ko kayo ng pork belly d'yan eh, hmp!
